Breakout Session: How the CDC used ReviewLink to Run a Multi-National Course Pilot
CDC has designed and developed the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) e-learning course in Lectora (v11.3) for WHO-AFRO. The target audience primarily consists of national, regional, and local public health organizations across Africa. Pilot testers from multiple countries, including Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, and Tanzania, were needed to pilot the final draft of the course and to provide comments, corrections, and change requests. Review Link allowed for multi-national asynchronous access to the course while eliminating the need for large downloads and preventing the proliferation of an uncleared draft. The ReviewLink settings allowed us to conduct a pilot by preventing the sharing of comments, grouping reviewers by country, and exporting to Excel for compilation and vetting. This presentation will demonstrate how CDC set up the pilot copy of IDSR and the multiple reviewer groups on Review Link, as well as the export of reviewer comments.
